Lennon and Ono expected the media would follow and snoop on them during their honeymoon, so they decided to turn things around, and use the event to promote world peace. They spent the week in the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam, and invited the media to come visit them during their "Bed-In for Peace".
The invitation was misinterpreted at first, with many people assuming the couple planned to make love for the public to see. Lennon said later "The press came charging through the door, thinking we were going to be screwing in bed." Instead they found John and Yoko sitting up in bed in pajamas, surrounded by handmade posters reading HAIR PEACE, BED PEACE, GROW YOUR HAIR, I LOVE YOKO and I LOVE JOHN, and the two of them answering any and all questions put to them.
The event was commemorated in "The Ballad Of John And Yoko", one of the last Beatles singles (which featured only Lennon and Paul McCartney playing), and the later Wedding Album, which included a book of photos, another book of press clippings, and a bagged photo of a slice of wedding cake. One side of the record, titled "Amsterdam", was a collection of sounds from the week, including two interviews with the media.
Lennon and Ono wanted to have a second bed-in in America, but Lennon was refused entry to the United States because of his recent arrest for hashish possession. They settled at first for the Bahamas, but found their hotel inhospitable, and they relocated the event to the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal, Quebec. This Bed-In lasted ten days, with the couple speaking by radio and telephone to student protestors in California, and the writing and recording of "Give Peace A Chance".
